[Bayou Tiger]
Huh ... wazzat?  Turn down that blasted boombox, darn ya!  I swear, kids these days and their noisy tunes.  No, darnit, I don't sound like my ol' man!  I am not an old codger!  I just need my rest.  You try getting stuffed into a suit of cybernetic armor and told you were being officially un-retired!  Blasted "perpetual service to the country" clause...
You need support?  If you're up for it, I'm your man.  (No, not a cat-man.  Had this conversation before!  Nothing wrong with Rowr and the rest of the cat-ladies, or even the tiger- and lion-men.  I'm just a grouchy old man, and no, I don't have a tail!)
((My only problem is that I'm in the MST (aka PDT right now).  Let me know what time your schedule would allow, and I'll do my best to make it.))
